A 1998 omega should have the clear, MFL headlight lenses, which if they have gone cloudy, can be polished back with wet and dry, or one of those 3M headlight polishing kits that fit in a drill (which makes it easy).
OSRAM Nightbreakers or Phillips Vision Plus are good, decent halogen bulbs.
Worth cleaning up the area where the 0V is attached to the chassis, as if that is a bit corroded, it will impact the lights.

The auto gearboxes are weak on the earlier 2.5TD engines - they foolishly fitted the AR25 gearbox instead of the stronger AR35. Fortunately, you can fit an AR35 from a 3.0 or 3.2 petrol to the 2.5TD, but you have to swap over the torque convertor and bell housing. Or convert it to a manual, which is much better suited to that engine TBH. If yours is the later 2.5TDI 24v common rail one, that came with a much stronger 5 speed auto.
Other than that, it'll be corrosion as mentioned. Good luck! |

Finally got around to agreeing to have the meters replaced. Both gas and electricity were over 20 years old so 10+ years overdue..... To be fair, Auckland is a fair way for the British Gas installer to go between jobs. |

The Eon fitter turned up and told me it would take him around ten minutes with the power off and he’d be sorted. Over two hours later he gave up, put the power back on and left. |

Octopus keep sending me emails telling me that both of my meters are past their certification, so I need to have smart meters installed. I keep ignoring them, let's see if they get bored. Same here with Eon, constant emails from them. The irony is that Eon did fit a smart meter in my house around four years ago but it only worked in dumb mode. I got a call from Eon recently saying that they needed to change the meter to a smart meter so I explained that my plasterboard is foil backed so they won’t get a signal, and that they’d already previously tried. They said ok and agreed to remove me from the mailing list but I’m getting more than ever now. They also said, you can have the meter moved at your expense and I said that won’t be happening. |

Took a deposit for the Zafira. Will be sad to see it go. Despite it being a PITA recently.
